🎧 In this episode of First Look Gnomes, we take a first look at two worlds that couldn’t be more different — but are both hilariously unforgettable.

👉 First up, it’s the 90’s! From Tamagotchis and dial-up internet to baggy jeans and Britpop, we dive into the nostalgia that defined a generation. If you grew up in the 90’s, you’ll be nodding (and laughing) along.

👉 Then we switch gears to the chaos of potty training — the parenting milestone that’s messy, unpredictable, and full of funny stories. Whether you’re in the trenches right now or remembering the struggle, you’ll relate to the wins, fails, and everything in between.

It’s a mix of retro nostalgia and real-life parenting mayhem, served with the usual Gnome humour.

Two dads share their latest "first looks" while navigating parenthood, 90s nostalgia in 2025, and a special celebrity appearance from a children's TV legend.
